The Hottest Tech Companies of the Last 10 Years

The Hottest Tech Companies of the Last 10 Years was originally published on The Job Insiders.

Here was my list of the 18 hottest tech employers circa 2014… 🤦‍♂️

• Amazon
• Apple
• Cisco
• Dell
• eBay
• Facebook
• Google
• HP
• IBM
• Intel
• LinkedIn
• Microsoft
• Oracle
• Salesforce
• Samsung
• Uber
• Twitter
• Yahoo

And then Alan Stein had the brilliant idea to ask ChatGPT to update for 2024 💡

Here’s what it recommended adding:

1. Tesla
2. SpaceX
3. NVIDIA
4. OpenAI
5. ByteDance/TikTok
6. Stripe
7. Netflix
8. Snowflake

And subtracting:

1. Yahoo: Acquisitions and a shift in focus mean Yahoo is not as prominent or influential as it was in 2014.
2. HP: While still significant in hardware, HP’s overall tech influence has diminished compared to cloud-first and software-centric players.
3. IBM: Despite its storied history, IBM has struggled to maintain its relevance in AI and cloud against newer entrants like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
4. Intel: Faced with fierce competition from ARM-based chips (Apple’s M1/M2 series) and AMD, Intel’s dominance in processors is challenged.

Ouch! 😬

What do you think? Did ChatGPT nail it??? 🔨
